When I started looking for a bike I looked at everything and was very close to a BMW R nine T. When I saw the 2013 that i bought i new i would buy it . . . I look of this bike never gets old.

I have other bikes on my list but I think the CB1100 will be a permanent part of my collection.

So, in my case it was not dependent on marketing, but just sheer vibe, and of course, emotion.

I didn't read about all the hype until I joined the Forum.
